Claude Littner is finally back in his full time role on The Apprentice, as the long-running show returns to BBC One for a new series on Thursday night, after being forced out of the last series following a nasty cycling accident.
There was concern for Lord Alan Sugar's trusted adviser last year when he was missing in action from the boardroom. Claude had an accident while riding an electric bike in London back in April 2021, with his right leg injured so badly that doctors considered amputating, before managing to save it.
In an interview on Lorraine, Lord Sugar explained that Claude was due to go in for a major operation and the man himself was back on TV on Thursday morning, appearing as a guest on Good Morning Britain and giving assurances that he'd very much recovered from his fall and fighting for The Apprentice's comeback.
